There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the President
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mr. Obama says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Syrians love their children too

that's only half the problem. those who suddenly feel compelled to ask me to draw iran's route to the sea after some ridiculous statement in a debate is one thing.
the other half of the problem (probably much less than half in number) are the "righties" who dream up and invent brand new ways to take it far beyond the batshit level of crazy found in the craziest of leaders. these people vote, and they make michelle bachmann sound smart with their statements on this forum sometimes.
for example, we've got some people here that believe that multiculturalism will lead to "a singular mindset". makes her vaccine conspiracies seem downright tame in comparison.

If you're signed into your youtube or google account, it will show you as the first person. Pretty much everyone on this forum, and searched this site while logged in, will get you as that word, because you use it the most. Since google will spider this site first if you ever searched it. Non-atheist uses that word second. I don't come up at all.

The measurement of such generalisability of a study is done by statistical tests of inference. You may be familiar with some such tests: tests such as the chi-squared test the t-test, and tests of correlation.

As someone who HOLDS a degree in sociology and clinical pschology i have a good understanding of qualitative and quantitative research....you sir are a mathematician - nearly. The answer is the result of the formula... And on a whim and adequate sample size for a effective and accurate result is nearly 40,000 people... This encompases strata, culture, age, race, gender and probable understanding....
Relax dude... You mis read, im in your camp and i was talking about him....
ha ha ha... You have been weighed, you have been measured.... And found wanting..... I feel sorry for people like nontheist, he's pushing shit up hill with people like you and buck in the mix.... Nevermind, speaking globally... Nontheist represents a vast majority... You on the other hand represent.... Hollywood, comedy and tradgedy all in one. Love your guns, god knows they love you.

This is where you're wrong. There are several factors besides number in the sample that affect a poll's accuracy, such as: wording of the question and randomness of the selection process; which is what Buck mentioned.
The margin of error: 1000 = +/-3.1%; 700 = +/- 3.7%; 291 = +/-5.1%.
At some point there's a diminishing returns. But the other factors make the confidence interval go way below 95% (supposed industry standard, but who questions the polling agency's method?)
That 50% poll might be as low as 44.9%. This is where Buck can be wrong. But what if one of those 5% confidence intervals is the real percentage because of: zero call back policy, a mostly RDD with very few cell phone, etc. They don't give their methods usually. It's all about marketing. NBC has no reason to influence public opinion?
So in short, both of you are wrong on some aspect of this. Except, Buck trusts his man is correct! So he'll do the automatic, "silly rabbit, you don't know shit about how polls work!"

You call the cops because they have a gun. You don't call the cops to look at their cute or handsome smile.

I was posting that I'm neither Libertarian or statist, and NOT saying that the two are similar. But if I had to choose one or the other (since you persist), I would definitely rather go with libertarian. What are you? A Social Democrat like most of the other SoCal losers?

He's in your camp? If I'm not mistaken, I'm nearly certain Nontheist is against gun control. I don't think he's as fervent as I am on the subject. But you can ask him, from what I know of his posts, he's a supporter of the 2nd.
Buck is the one in your camp. He thinks guns magically kill you because they have these seductive powers to brainwash their user to kill little kids without mercy. Just like what you think.
Gun control is hitting your target.

He's going to pester the fuck out of you to go to his Noam Chomsky meetings. The Malthusian ideal. Inheritance is theft. Libertarian Socialist.
Dude, you fucked up.

You do know this is the politics forum right? So why the hell do you come in here all the time? How is it possible to have over 8,300 posts, but have only typed 8,000 sentences? Does that officially make you a troll? ...I think so.
